You are on the right site to ask about a book. David's ebook is one of the most comprehensive detailing books I've ever seen. You can order it on this site. Right under the Classic Motering Accessories logo on the top right there is a link that says Autopia Guide to Detailing. That is an excellent book to get to help you out.
Welcome to the board! My psycho parents live up in your neck of the woods somewhere. My dad works in Springfield Mass. and lives somewhere up there. Ellington is the name of the town I think. I think my mother is in New Haven but I can't remember. We don't keep in touch much if you couldn't tell.
That is a nice area to be in though. See you on the forums!
